Which Home Robot Did You See? A “Price Is Right” Search Checklist

Collect the episode evidence before naming the robot

A phrase such as “The Price Is Right home robot KOKO Coco” does not identify a product by itself. It combines a show title, a product category, and two spellings that may reflect an uncertain memory. Begin with the broadcast or clip, not with the assumption that the robot was KOKO.

As a baseline, the Homebot One homepage, KOKO Home page, CBS program page, and Humanoid Home News ranking article checked on September 30, 2026 did not document a KOKO episode appearance or program relationship. This limited review is a starting point; a positive identification still depends on episode-level evidence that names the product.

Write down what was actually seen or heard

Record the approximate date, channel or platform, program segment, host or guest, spoken product name, on-screen text, body form, color, movement method, and what the machine appeared to do. Separate observations from interpretations. “A green panel was visible” is an observation; “it was KOKO” is an interpretation.

If the memory came from a short online clip, save the URL and note who uploaded it. Captions and thumbnails may have been added after the broadcast. Search for a longer licensed version that includes the introduction, credits, or surrounding dialogue where a company and product name may be stated.

• Program, platform, and approximate air date
• Exact on-screen or spoken name
• Segment context and presenter wording
• Original or earliest available clip source
• Company confirmation, if one exists

Check the broadcaster and episode record

Use the broadcaster’s official program page, episode guide, licensed clips, transcripts, and press material. Search by date and segment description before searching by the robot name you suspect. This reduces confirmation bias and may reveal that the clip came from a different program, advertisement, or repost.

If no official record is available, reliable contemporary coverage may help, but it should name the episode and show where its identification came from. A page created only to target the same search phrase is not independent confirmation.

Match the entity, not just the appearance

For Homebot One, the official robot name is KOKO. Coco is a common phonetic spelling and can refer to unrelated entities. Check whether the source explicitly names Homebot One, links an official domain, or shows a company acknowledgment. Similar colors or a humanlike outline are not enough.

Product appearance can also change across prototypes, videos, and camera angles. Do not infer unseen specifications, capabilities, or manufacturer identity from a frame. A direct name in a credible source is much stronger than visual matching.

Publish a conclusion that preserves uncertainty

If official sources identify the product, cite them and state the episode date. If evidence points toward KOKO but does not name it, describe the resemblance and say the identity remains unverified. If the sources conflict, present the conflict rather than selecting the most exciting version.

Keep a separate answer for price or availability. A television appearance would not create a current sales offer, and a third-party ranking does not prove a television appearance. Each claim should have its own source and date.
